Everyone loves the tooth fairy! Losing those first few baby teeth is a rite of passage to kids, another milestone to growing up. Who hasn’t seen the unmistakable grin of a kid showing off his loose tooth, and later a toothless smile? Parents have celebrated this event with tales of the Tooth Fairy for generations. This whimsical story, The Tale of the Tooth Fairy, gives kids a glimpse into the magical world of fairies and the endearing story of how the Tooth Fairy got her job. Not only is the story enchanting, but the product makes a perfect gift.

When designer Julie Barger was brainstorming to find a name for her new clothing line 9 years ago, she enlisted the help of her five-year-old daughter. Julie asked, “What is the name of something that starts as one thing then changes into something else?” Her daughter answered, “Golden Butterfly.” That soon became metamorphosis but since that was too long to fit on a label, it later became “Morfs”. Founded and based in Lynchburg, Virginia, Morfs features Julie’s creative vision turning everyday apparel into unique works of art for children to wear, and parents to cherish. These wearable art creations provide one-of-a-kind looks for today’s one-of-a-kind kids.

Cowboy boots are making a comeback in the fashion world. For practical parents, this fashion forward idea isn’t as easy to pull off with the wee ones. Luckily for all those craving kiddie couture, a mom came up with the perfect solution: Bootzies. The genius idea for Bootzies came about when the founder Christina was watching her infant daughter scoot across the floor while adoring some boots. Her daughter refused to keep socks or shoes on, so how would she be able to saddle up to this new trend? Then the answer came to her: tights! Wearing these, any baby or child can fashionably scoot, crawl, walk and, most importantly, be comfortable.

Sister-in-laws Debbie Horwits and Charlie Weir wanted to start a company that would utilize their creative skills.

Everyone knows that a baby’s soft skin is delicate. Little ones suffer from a number of external irritants that wouldn’t affect adults, because an adult’s outer layer of skin is more developed. While problems like diaper rash are common issues, the increased permeability of baby’s skin also means that more irritants can pass through it. Wouldn’t it be great to provide products that give your customers peace of mind and help little ones stay comfortable? Safe, non-toxic products that protect infants and toddlers, such as the lotions from BabySpa, may just be what the doctor ordered.

The inspiration for Fohawx was a seven-year-old boy named Alex who refused to wear his bike helmet because it wasn’t “cool.” In an attempt to make the helmet hip, his crafty sister Maya took the helmet to embellish it a bit. When she returned the helmet it had tissue paper glued to it, creating a faux Mohawk and dredlocks. Alex thought it was definitely rad and had no problem wearing it. The experience inspired mom Jocelyn Fine to begin experimenting with prototypes that eventually became Fohawx, a unique line of decorative appliqués for bike helmets.

The tween market can be a little hard to nail down: tweens are moving beyond the childlike toys and behaviors they are used to, but still not quite ready for the almost-grown-up style of older teens. Retailers need to be wary of coming off as too cutesy or way too sophisticated. Kids in this group tend to be very creative. Edgy, fun, yet practical accessories and designs all make for happy families. The best in tween products combine individualism with creativity, and the lines from Nail Candy, Shwings, and Tractor bring customers back for more.
